I hear ya on the filler annoyance. xP Then again, I guess they're better than no anime at all, right? But yeah, a very noticable difference between filler and main storyline. And the Bleach ones take so darn long to complete! Ugh!!
Mai HiME (or My-HiME, whichever one, lol) is a mixture of cute, Sailor Moon-ish action, humor, and lots of...err...scantly clad women. Yeah. ^_^;; The story is quite complex and interesting. If you're all about the different aspects of love, then you'll probably like it. And since you've brought up the topic of tickling (it was inevitable, huh? =P), that anime is CHOCK-FULL of tickling...like, to the point where I think the maker of it has a thing for tickling. Seriously, in the 26 episodes that make the anime, I've counted at LEAST seven different instances of unquestionable tickling. Same as the spin-off, Mai Otome. You should check it out!! 😉
